So you mean this came out the day the sneak peek I posted
was released. And I was not able to stumble upon this for like a day? I know I am always updated with movie adaptations and stuff
but this was such a big MISS. So going back. Watching the trailer makes me want to read the book again. And
watch the trailer again and again and again.

The trailer transports you to a “feels” trip (courtesy of
that Youtube comment I stumbled upon) where your emotion is heightened and the
slightest of provocation will send you bawling your insides (exag!). I cannot wait for June to come.

I can say that one of the highlights of my day is this sneak peak of The Fault in Our Stars movie. Oooops! Hold your horses though because the clip is just a sneak peek and sneak peeks are meant to be short (like sooooo short).

This is another interesting entry from Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project book. The content of this blogpost is originally from the book. I'm just itching to share this to everyone who stumbles upon my blog. Hope you have a nice day! :) According to Gretchen, "fun" falls into three categories: (1) challenging fun, (2) accommodating fun, and (3) relaxing fun. Challenging fun is the most rewarding but also the most demanding. It can create frustration, anxiety, and hard work. It often requires errands. It takes time and energy. In the end, however, it pays off with the most satisfying fun. Usually less challenging, but still requiring a fair bit of effort, is accommodating fun. A family trip to the playground us accommodating fun. Yes, it's fun, but I'm really there because my children want to go. Was it Jerry Seinfeld who said, "There's no such thing as 'Fun for the whole family'"? Going to a family holiday dinner, even going to dinner a…

If I were to choose a stand-out
track from Panic! At The Disco’s latest album Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to
Die, it would be Collar Full. Why? Because the song is just too
difficult to put down. I just have to hit the replay button over and over
again. The latest song that got stuck in
my head from the band was Ready to Go (Get Me Out of my Mind) from their previous
Vices & Virtues album. After my first listen to the song it already made
its way to my LSS-worthy tracks list that I even used the track as a background
song in one of our school projects (Oh how I miss those days!). It has been 2
years since the album’s release and now I guess it’s about time I have another
favorite track from their latest offering. Collar Full is an upbeat track with
the same dancey vibe like Ready to Go. The number contains a flow of bouncy
synths enticing listeners to bob their heads and tap their feet nonstop. It is
also groovy, a feel-good song indeed. Not just that. The song talks about taking
ch…

I know, I know. The song is already a year old. But compared
to her latest hits such as Burn, Lights, and Goodness Gracious I find Anything
Could Happen more of an emotional track which in all honesty is more LSS-worthy
than her other released singles. I’m that deep. I dig ballad and
mellow-sounding music. Especially when the song elicits raw emotions. That I
just find myself in a trance-like state. Before I lose myself let’s continue
this entry. Before Anything Could Happen,
Lights made it big especially on the Billboard 100 chart. Lights is a dancey
electro-pop song which is quite different compared to the enchanting electro ballad
Anything Could Happen. Ellie confirmed in an interview
that she was a bit nervous with the release of Anything Could Happen since it
was something new to her fans. But after only five days the music video for the
song reached one million views on Youtube which is a good thing. The song opens up with a whimsical start
with dolphin-like noises and stomping be…

Omigosh! It has been 9 months since the release of Sara Bareilles' hit track Brave and now the time has come for the talented musician/composer/songstress to release the second single of her latest Grammy Nominated album The Blessed Unrest. And my friends, the long wait is over. On her twitter account Sara B announced I Choose You as her next single.

The radio-friendly, LSS worthy track with a great potential of being the wedding anthem of the year will leave you warm and fuzzy all over. Listen to Sara Bareilles' latest single here. I also have album reviews of The Blessed Unrest and Kaleidoscope Heart.

For the 3rd
Anniversary of Pointwest’s Bible Study Group which I am now a part of, the
committee decided to celebrate the momentous event at The Breakfast Table. As a first-timer and a foodie (of
course) I was kind of expecting a great palate journey at TBT. I
thought that the experience will be of the gastric-type only. I was wrong. It
was a feast of the senses. Since the food were already pre-ordered
I was not able to experience the DIY breakfast menu which I believe is
innovative and fun.

The first thing that caught my attention
as I enter the place was the streaks of blue splashed all over every corner of
the small yet spacious place. The walls and the comfort rooms and also the eating
utensils and table mats were all drizzled with droplets of cerulean-toned hues.

White and Blue combination is
amazingly appealing as it is also appetite-inducing. Move over red and black!

Hey there fellow book lovers! I’m
here once again to update you on my 100-books-to-read
progress. So far, I have been juggling, yes,
you heard that right. I’ve been juggling books lately. Not this type of juggling.

But you know what I mean, reading
a number of books simultaneously. Not because I’m in a hurry to
finish my 100-books-to-read list
(although, after making computations I believe I really need to speed up my
game). But because being a randomly cluttered blogger I want to test my
multitasking skills and I also want to diversify the list of my favorite
authors (which is another challenge). And here is the 2nd
book that I finished. It is Allie Brosh’s autobiographical book entitled
Hyperbole and a Half.

I have never encountered a
hilariously addictive read like this in years. I’m grateful to my ever
sarcastic officemate who introduced the book and shared the file to me. Your
randomly cluttered blogger wouldn’t be able to experience such an amazingly
book so thank you *insert sarca…

The best things in life are free.
The only thing is that not everything in life is free. Fortunately we have
these things called discount coupons which seem close enough to the-best-things-in-life-are-free quote.
I mean who wouldn’t want cheap and affordable finds? Who couldn’t resist the
magnetic pull coupons have to majority of us nowadays?

I am not a fan of discount
vouchers… before. I would just intentionally get past people giving free
coupons in malls and streets. I believe many people need it more than I do. And
grabbing one from people handing out coupons is like me depriving someone of
that same piece of monetary alleviation.

But not anymore. Currently, online websites
offering discounted coupons and groupons (group coupons) have become popular
and trending. Websites such as CashCashPinoy, Metrodeal, and Ensogo are the
go-tos if you’re looking for low priced and inexpensive purchases. These sites
give the best deals ever! Going back to where I left. After having an unexpected
